A frozen palace and a sparkling secret - an epic Russian adventure
awaits! Anna Orlov might be the luckiest girl in the world. She is
the daughter of a Russian Count and lives in a beautiful snowbound
palace that is home to a menagerie of wonderful animals: tigers,
wolfhounds and, of course, horses. And she is also the owner of a
beautiful heirloom - a diamond necklace with a secret past. But
when Anna defies her father's wishes and secretly raises a young
colt alongside her pet tiger cub, her actions will have far
reaching consequences. And soon Anna, her tiger and her horse will
be fighting for survival in the frozen tundra of Siberia... An epic
adventure of horses, friendship and sparkling secrets!
Mouse is having a wonderful day: she's foraged four plump apples
for her tea, the most she's ever found! But here comes Bear, and
he's feeling especially greedy and mean. He wants every apple for
himself. Mouse might have to think up a clever trick to teach Bear
a lesson...
They call me Yanka the Bear. Not because of where I was found – only a few people know about that. They call me Yanka the Bear because I am so big and strong.
Found abandoned in a bear cave as a baby, Yanka has always wondered about where she is from. She tries to ignore the strange whispers and looks from the villagers, wishing she was as strong on the inside as she is on the outside. But, when she has to flee her house, looking for answers about who she really is, a journey far beyond one that she ever imagined begins: from icy rivers to smouldering mountains meeting an ever-growing herd of extraordinary friends along the way.
Interwoven with traditional stories of bears, princesses and dragons, Yanka’s journey is a gorgeously lyrical adventure from the best-selling author of The House With Chicken Legs.
